Brady: Sami, you disappear, you don't tell anyone where you are, and all of a
sudden, you show up in this bunker in a war zone, knock out some guard, and
rescue us? I think we're all entitled to a little skepticism.

Lucas: Wait, wait, wait. Let's just give her a break, all right? She did help
rescue us. But I want the details when we get back. I'm sure it's a long,
complicated story, right, Sami?

Sami: [Thinking] You can say that again.

Brady: Yeah, I'll bet.

Rex: All right, look, let's go find some phones, huh?

Brady: I agree. I want to talk to you later.

Sami: Sounds like a good idea.

Lucas: No, no, no. You're not off the hook yet.

Sami: What do you mean?

Lucas: I want you to tell me everything -- everything that went on when you
were here. Promise me you'll tell me. I want the truth.

Sami: Lucas, I swear, I will do whatever it takes to get your trust back.

***************************************************************

Kate: Oh. Thank you. Thank you for keeping my boy safe.

John: Thank the Marines. They did a lot more than me.

[Telephone rings]

John: Could be the kids.

Marlena: Oh, I hope so.

Kate: I can't imagine how worried you two must be.

Marlena: Not as worried now that I know they're all right.

Kate: Actually, I was talking about Sami. I'm sure you can't help but wonder
how she got mixed up in all of this. It's hard to believe that it's just a
coincidence that she ends up in a war-torn country just when my sons are about
to rescue Philip. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she was working with Tony
DiMera.

Marlena: That's impossible, Kate.

Roman: Kate, come on. Sami's got her faults, but DiMera, no. No way.

Kate: Oh, I understand. It's all right. I mean, I know you're her parents and
you wouldn't want to believe something like that about her. I just wouldn't put
anything past the girl.

Marlena: Roman.

Roman: Hey, hey, Kate’s still emotional. I know she didn't mean it.

Marlena: Oh, no, I think she meant it. It makes me wonder -- what was Sami
doing in a war zone?

John: Damn, it's good to hear your voice, son.

Brady: Dad, it's good to be alive. Hey, thanks for sending those Marines to
get us.

John: Did a hell of a job yourself. Now, here's your heads-up -- you are
still in a war zone. You make sure everyone gets home safely.

Brady: I will.

John: I know you will, kid. I'm really proud of you.

Brady: I'm really proud of you, too, dad.

Philip: Hey, is that your dad?

Brady: Yeah.

Philip: Ask him if my mom's there.

Brady: Hey, dad, um, could you put Kate on the phone? Philip wants to talk to
her.

John: Yeah, she's right here. Hold on.

Brady: Wait, wait, ha-hang on one second. Um... look, Nicole and I got cut
off. Can you give her the message that I'm doing just fine and I'll be home
soon?

John: Roger that, kid.

Brady: Thanks.

John: Here's Kate. Hold on.

Brady: Here.

Philip: Thanks, man. Mom?

Kate: Philip?

Sami: Oh, God, Philip. Just hurry up. I want to talk to my parents.

Philip: I just wanted you to know that I'm okay, mom.

Kate: You don't know -- you don't know how worried I've been about you.

Philip: Ha ha. I think I have a pretty good idea.

Kate: I just can't wait. You need to come home as soon as possible. I want
you to, and Belle wants you to.

Philip: Mom, how is she?

Kate: Sweetie, she wants you to be home. She needs you to be home.

Philip: Okay. I can't wait to see her. And I swear, mom, nothing is ever
going to separate us again.

Belle: When he's home and out of danger. It's not something I can do over the
phone.

Mimi: I know. I can't tell Rex on the phone that I had to plead guilty to
attempted murder and I am going to jail and we can never have a future together.
Talk about a welcome home surprise.

[Telephone rings]

Mimi: Oh, my God. Do you think --

Belle: I-I don't know. Answer it.

[Ring]

Mimi: Hello?

Rex: Mimi?

Mimi: Oh, Rex, thank God.

Rex: Hey, sweetheart. Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

Mimi: I'm just glad that you're alive.

Rex: Listen, Mimi, I love you so much, and I miss you like crazy. I promise
you, when I come home, I am never leaving you again.

Rex: Mimi?

Belle: Rex?

Rex: Belle? What's going on? Where's Mimi? Is she okay?

Belle: Um, she's okay. She's just a little emotional right now. She just
can't wait for you two to be together again.

Shawn-d: Is that -- is that Belle on the phone?

Rex: No, no, dude. Where's Philip? I told you --

Shawn-d: Hey, give me the phone. Belle?

Belle: Shawn, is that you?

Shawn-d: Yeah, yeah, it's me.

Belle: Oh, my gosh. I'm so glad that you're okay.

Shawn-d: I love you, baby. I'm coming home to you. Being out here made me
realize how much I cannot wait for us to be together, so I'm going to tell
Philip the truth about us.

Belle: No, you can’t.

***************************************************************

Billie: Jack. Jack, come on. Jack?

Jack: Whoa. That was weird.

Billie: Are you okay?

Jack: I'm fine. I-I'm just tired.

Billie: I don't know, man. Maybe we should take you to the hospital and get
you checked out.

Jack: No. No, no, no, no. I-I'm fine. Really, I'm fine.

Billie: You know, you don't look so good. No, you know, there could be,
seriously, something wrong with you.

Jack: No, no. Look, the only thing that's wrong with me is that I'm seriously
exhausted after -- after being held by Tony DiMera myself. You know, and damn
it, if he's not doing it all over again.

Billie: Well, it's been horrible.

Jack: Oh, of course it was, but right now, let's worry about getting your
brothers home and -- and Sami. I mean, what the -- what the hell is that all
about? Look, I-I'm fine. I'm just -- I just -- a little -- a little tired, but
I'm -- otherwise, I'm fine.

Billie: Okay. All right, but maybe I should just tell Jennifer, just in case.

Jack: No, no, no. No, no, don't -- don't worry Jennifer. I just -- I'm just
going to rest here for a minute, and then we'll just go inside. Yeah.

***************************************************************

Bo: All right, Roman, thanks for letting us know. Bye.

Hope: Well?

Bo: They're airlifting Shawn and the rest of the guys out of the war zone
tonight.

Hope: Yes.

Jennifer: That's wonderful.

Hope: Oh, thank God. I honestly don't know what I would have done if we lost
Shawn.

Bo: Hey, don't go there. Our boy is on his way home.

Hope: I know. I know.

Bo: Our family is finally going to be together again, and things are going to
be different.

Kate: Honey, I am so happy to hear you say that. Promise me that you won't
let anyone come between you and Belle, especially not Shawn Brady.

Philip: No, mom, don't worry I trust Belle, and I have complete faith in our
marriage.

Sami: Look, Philip, I want to talk to my family.

Philip: All right. Mom, mom, I got to go. But I love you, and I will see you
soon, okay?

Kate: Oh, sweetie, I love you, too. Please, please stay safe.

Philip: Yeah, I will.

Kate: Put your brothers on, okay?

Philip: Okay, I'll go find them for you. Here.

Sami: Look, Kate, just quit hogging the phone, okay? I want to talk to my
parents.

Kate: Oh. Fine. Fine, why don't I just put you on with John, and you can tell
him about how you teamed up with Tony DiMera, Sami.

Marlena: [Gasps]

Roman: Sami.

Marlena: Sami. I'll take it. I'll take it.

Kate: She's up to no good. We can't let her get away with it.

Marlena: Sami, Sami, is that you?

Sami: Mom? Mom, it's really you.

Marlena: It's me, and your dad's here.

Sami: Daddy.

Roman: Yeah. How's my girl?

Sami: I-I'm fine. Dad, I can't believe -- I never thought I'd see or talk to
either of you ever again. I-I missed you both so much.

Marlena: Sami, we've missed you, too.

Roman: You better believe that.

Sami: Are you all right? Are -- are both of you okay?

Marlena: We are fine. We're just fine. We're worried sick about you, honey.
Are you okay? Did they hurt you?

Sami: No. No. But, mom, I -- I just want to make sure you're okay. I can't
wait to come home and see you both for real.

Marlena: We can't wait to see you, too, and -- Sami, maybe, you know, when
you come home, you can tell us what happened and how you ended up in a war zone,
honey.

Sami: I will tell you. It was horrible. Tony's horrible. What he did to -- to
you both and -- and to all of us --

Roman: Yeah, don't worry about it. I mean, now that he's in custody, the
I.S.A.'s going to throw the book at him and everybody who's working with him.

John: I'll make you a promise. Once our kids come home, I will get to the
bottom of what really happened over there.

Kate: And when you do, we'll both find out that she's not as innocent as her
parents think she is.

Marlena: Sami, we've missed you so much. Just hurry home safely, okay? Will
needs his mom.

Sami: I miss him. I miss all of you. I can't wait to see you all.

Roman: Well, then, you hurry home.

Sami: I will. I love you, mom.

Roman: We love you, too.

Marlena: We love you, Sami. Bye.

Sami: Goodbye.

***************************************************************

Lucas: I'm telling you, Sami was not involved in whatever Tony was planning.

Brady: Lucas, how can you be so sure?

Lucas: Because I am, all right? I just am. Whoever partnered up with Tony, it
had to be that guy Stan. As soon as we find him, we're going to get all the
answers we need.

Philip: Lucas, how do you know we're going to find him?

Lucas: We will. I'm going to make sure of it, all right? I'm going to go help
find him.

Brady: I wish Lucas luck, but that Stan guy is long gone by now.

Philip: Damn it.

Brady: What's the matter with you?

Philip: Sami -- big mouth used up all the battery. This phone doesn't work.

Brady: Let me guess -- you want to call my sister Belle.

Philip: Yeah. I want the first call she gets to be from me.

***************************************************************

Belle: Shawn, you cannot tell Philip about us.

Shawn-d: He deserves to know the truth -- that we're in love and we want to
get married.

Belle: You're right, he does, and I should be the one to tell him, and I need
to do that in person. I owe him at least that much. I feel awful having to break
his heart after everything he's been through. Philip is a war hero, coming home
after being held in captivity for so long.

Shawn-d: Are you sure you're not having second thoughts?

Belle: Shawn, I love you, but I do still care about him very much. I have to
make sure he's okay, both physically and emotionally, before I give him the news
that's going to tear his life apart. Just promise me that you will let me do
this my way.

Shawn-d: All right. I won't say anything, but, Belle, you have to promise me
--

Belle: I will promise you that I will tell him as soon as he gets home.

Philip: What the hell is going on, Shawn? You're talking to Belle?

***************************************************************

Marlena: Well, Sami seems to be in very good spirits, all things considered.

Kate: Yeah, well, I'm not gonna be in good spirits till my sons are home and
until they're safe and I know they're safe.

Marlena: John, could they still be in danger?

John: Well, the Marines secured the area, but the fact remains they're still
in a war zone.

Roman: John, have you heard anything more about this character Stan?

John: Only that the Marines are still trying to track him down.

Kate: Who is Stan?

Roman: Well, he's apparently one of DiMera’s men who passed himself off as a
hostage.

Kate: Well, I hope they find him, and I hope they prosecute him and anyone
else who's helped Tony DiMera.

Roman: Kate, I know that you think Sami’s involved in this, but I can promise
you she is not. Sami has done a lot of stupid things in her life, but no way in
hell she would sell her soul to Tony DiMera.

Marlena: Roman is right. Sami would never get involved with someone that had
hurt her family and so many families. Hurt them, caused them so much pain and
anguish... she wouldn't do that.

***************************************************************

Sami: Is, um, this where Tony DiMera is?

Man: Yes, ma'am.

Sami: Can I talk to him just for a second?

Man: No, ma'am.

Sami: I was one of his victims. He held me captive, and I just want to talk
to him, you know, tell him what I think of him. It'll only take a minute.
Please. I really need to do this.

Man: You'll have to submit to a search.

Sami: Sure. Sure.

Sami: Thank you.

Sami: I wish I had a camera.

Tony: You disappoint me, Samantha. You double-crossed me... and you're going
to have to pay.

Sami: It doesn't seem like you're in a position to be making threats, Tony.

Tony: Really. Have you forgotten that I know Stan’s true identity, that I
know it was you who helped capture those four hostages, that it was you who gave
John Black illegal drugs, that it was you who helped Nicole botch Chloe’s
surgery. It just goes on and on. You have caused so much pain for so many
people. Do you really think you're going to get away scot-free? Ha ha! No, no,
no. No, no, no. There will be a day of reckoning and serious repercussions, I
assure you.

Sami: You don't scare me, Tony. Who's gonna believe that I've been
masquerading as a man this whole time? No one. So you see, you've lost, Tony,
and I've won. I don't even need you anymore. My parents are back at home, safe
and sound. Lucas is already starting to trust me again. And I'm sure it's only a
matter of time before I find the evidence that proves that Kate set me up. So
while you're rotting on death row where you belong, I'll be getting everything I
ever wanted.

Tony: If I fall, you fall, too, Samantha. You're not going to get away with
taking those actions of yours. I tell you what, your past as Stan will come back
to haunt you.

Sami: There is no evidence whatsoever that I was Stan, Tony.

Tony: Ha ha ha. Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Lucas: What the hell?

Lucas: Damn it, these are Stan’s. I'll find that son of a bitch if it's the
last thing I do.

Tony: It won't be long before the truth comes out, Samantha. In fact, there
is only one way for you to escape.

***************************************************************

Belle: Shawn, remember, you promised.

Philip: I said, what's going on? You called Belle?

Rex: Philip, Philip, relax. I called Mimi, and Belle was there. I was coming
to tell you right now. She's dying to talk to you.

Philip: Belle.

Belle: Philip? Oh, my God, Philip, it is so good to hear your voice.

Philip: I've missed you so much.

Belle: I've really missed you, too. I've been so worried about you.

Philip: I can't wait to come home to you and hold you in my arms. Belle, I
swear, the worst part of this has been being separated from you. And I don't
think I can put myself through that again.

Tony: It sounds as if the Marines are on the defensive. You know, this may be
the perfect moment for us to escape.

Sami: I'm not going anywhere with you. You're crazy.

Tony: This is your last chance, Samantha. Don't you understand? You help me,
I promise I'll protect you. But if you don't, the truth of Stan will come out,
and then your family and Will and everybody else will find out, and then your
life is as good as over.

Sami: I would rather die than help you. You are the one who got me into this
mess. As far as I'm concerned, you can go straight to hell.

Tony: Ooh.

Sami: [Thinking] I can't let anyone find out that I was Stan.

***************************************************************

Lucas: Is everything all right?

Man: Everything's fine, sir.

Lucas: [Thinking] Use this as evidence to nail Stan.

Owens: Listen, son, I'm grateful for what you're trying to do, I really am,
but I'm not ready to send you back into combat, not just yet.

Philip: Sir, I respectfully insist to be allowed to fight alongside the same
men who risked their lives to save my friends and me. Like them, I made a
commitment to this country, and all I ask is permission to fulfill that
commitment.

Owens: Permission granted.

Philip: Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Owens: Report to command post to debrief. Wait for instructions.

Philip: Yes, sir.

Shawn-d: Philip, you are making a big mistake.

Philip: What?

Brady: He's right. Think about Belle. She'll be devastated.

Shawn-d: And you cannot keep putting her through hell. I won't let you.

***************************************************************

[Cell phone rings]

John: Excuse me. John Black.

Roman: Kate, look, I know that you and Sami have never seen eye to eye on
everything -- or anything, actually, but Marlena and I know our daughter, and
there's no way in hell she would team up with Tony DiMera.

Marlena: You know, Sami is as much a victim as the boys are.

Kate: Our sons are heroes, and when this is all over, I doubt anyone is going
to use that word to describe Sami.

***************************************************************

Sami: You know what? I don't even know why I bothered to come here. How
stupid can I get? You hate me. You've always hated me because I'm not your
natural daughter like Belle.

Lucas: Come on, stop it, Sami, please.

Sami: It's true. My father is dead now. So is my mother. And what do you do?
Shack up with my dad's widow. God, how low can you get? I'm just glad that my
parents aren't here to see the way that you two have been treating their
daughter. At least they've been spared that. And then you give your illegitimate
love child Isabella the pearls that mom had meant to give to me, the one thing
that I was going to have left from my mother, and you gave them away.

John: Samantha, I said you could go out and get anything that you want. I'll
try to make up for the mistake, okay?

Sami: You can take your money and shove it.

[Knock on door]

Sami: What?! What the hell do you want?!

Kate: I'm here on official business. Mm. Perfect night for a fire.

Sami: Kate, say what you have to say and then get out.

Kate: I need to discuss your future at Basic Black.

Sami: Let me guess.

Kate: Not looking too bright for you, Sami.

Sami: You destroyed my relationship with Lucas, and, obviously, you want to
destroy my career next. Well, unfortunately for you, there are procedures here,
and I have been an exemplary employee, so I don't think you're going to get what
you want this time, Kate.

Kate: You have demonstrated shockingly unprofessional behavior.

Sami: You set me up, you bitch.

Kate: That accusation's getting so tired. And haven't you noticed? No one
believes you.

Sami: Well, you and I both know that it is true, Kate. And in case you've
forgotten, John is the one who hired me at Basic Black. He did it for my mother.
You remember her, right -- your so-called best friend?

Kate: Well, sorry to say, Sami, your mother's dead, and John has taken a
leave of absence from his company, and he has left me in control of all
operations at Basic Black -- hires and terminations. You're fired.

Sami: You scheming bitch.

John: I'm afraid I got some bad news.

***************************************************************

Belle: No, I am not having second thoughts about telling Philip. I'm just
worried how he's going to take it, you know? After everything he's been
through... I would give anything not to hurt him.

Mimi: I know what you mean. No matter what I do, I'm still going to hurt Rex.

Belle: Mimi, you don't have to go to jail. Change your plea to not guilty and
let Mickey Horton fight the charges, prove you are innocent.

Mimi: It's too late for that. Belle, we have to face it, okay? Because of our
mistakes, Rex and Philip are not going to have a happy homecoming.

***************************************************************

Shawn-d: I am not going to let you go back out there in this condition and
fight and worry belle all over again.

Rex: All right, Shawn, hold on, hold on. Phil, look, you heard the captain.
You don't have to do this.

Philip: Look, I am going home to my wife, and nothing is more important to me
than Belle. You guys know that.

Brady: All right, you know what? You got to do what you got to do, man. I
don't necessarily agree with you, but I just -- I want to tell you that I think
your dad would be very proud of you.

Philip: You're right, he would. Thank you, Brady.

Brady: You just be careful, man, all right?

Rex: Please watch your back.

Philip: I will. You too. Shawn... thank you for organizing this mission to
rescue me. And when you see Belle, you tell her I love her.

Shawn-d: I cannot believe you let him do this.

Brady: It was his call, Shawn.

Rex: Shawn, it'll be a couple more days before Philip finds out. Look, you
won, all right? You have Belle.

Brady: You just better hope nothing happens to him.

Lucas: Look what I found.

Rex: Whose are those? Whose are those?

Lucas: I don't know. They were hidden in a closet. I bet they were Stan’s.

Brady: Are you sure? Was there an I.D. in the pocket?

Lucas: No, nothing, but I found a long strand of blond hair.

Sami: Oh, my God. If they find out that I'm Stan, I'm toast. Oh, I've got to
get out of here.

***************************************************************

[All laughing]

Jack: I'd say all this good news calls for a little celebration. What do you
say I dig out a little champagne?

Hope: Now that I know that Shawn’s safe, I am so ready for things to get back
to normal.

Bo: Oh, you and me both.

Hope: Yeah.

Billie: And I cannot wait to question Tony. We are going to make him tell us
where Georgia is. We're going to get our daughter back, Bo. We are finally going
to be a family.

Jack: Damn it. What's wrong with me?

Bo: Don't get your hopes up, Billie. Getting the truth about Georgia out of
Tony will not be easy.
